Mine usually cook at 1.5 to 2 hours/ pound no matter what the weight. I would guess that you are planning on more time than it will take. You can always take it off, wrap it in foil, and put it in a cooler though.Large BGE Decatur, AL

If you cook at 250 grid level, they cook at just over an hour a pound.I just did (2) 9 pounders and they took 10-11 hours.Packerland, Wisconsin

Looking forward to hearing how you make out on the time ... I have 3.5 and a 4.5 lb boneless tied butts to do in a couple of days.

I did a 10lb bone in Boston butt it took 22 hours at 250 dome 10-11 hours seems kind of fast.I just did (2) 9 pounders and they took 10-11 hours.

I said 250 grid, you said 250 dome.If you cook at 250 grid level, they cook at just over an hour a pound.

I just pulled a butt of the grill that I put on at 8:00p last night so 21 hours, but the temp ran at about 200 during the night. Not my choice but I had a center burn that lowered the temp, normally try to run at 250 dome. Looks good foiled and waiting right now.DavidBBQ since 2010 - Oh my, what I was missing.

i can smell it from here

If I run the dome at 250 the grate should be about 225? That makes sense from the other times I have seen for a temp of 225.

Yup, it varies, but that's about what I see when I monitor both my dome therm and my Maverick or DigiQ at grid level.Packerland, Wisconsin -
My new stoker is in the mail so I will have a better idea of the grate temp next time.

just took the butt off the egg. started it at 11:30 this morning, took it off at 4:30 everything fell apart except the very center. average dome temp was 280 took pork off when it hit 190. it had a nice crust and was moist.added some eastern norh carolina bbq sauce, tasted good ABT's tomorrow thanks for info cheers
